CI-2009 EAp1:Fundamental Commissioning of Building Energy Systems

Cx for Domestic HW to Point of Connection - Sink only

We have a project where a sink was added as part of the scope and tied into existing cold and HW supply lines, with no alteration to any other part of the domestic HW system. The GBCI review team has asked that we commission this up to the point of connection (i.e. commission the sink). Our thought is that an appropriate scope for this would be to simply ensure that the flow rate of the sink is in line with specifications (i.e. the OPR and BOD), visually inspect for leaks, and ensure that hot water comes out of the tap when turned on. Is this a reasonable scope, or is there something else that would be needed? Anyone else with similar requests?

I believe your scope description is consist with the intent of the commissioning.

I agree, your scope seems reasonable. We have not had this kind of request before. Definately we have commissioned hot water systems and instantaneous heaters, that kind of thing, but not just a sink.
